We are a group of 12 professors and researchers from the HTSE for Industry. The Group is a part of the Automated and Robotics Centre (ARC), which is a mixed centre shared between the CSIC and the UPM.
A significant part our team is international, with permanent members coming from six different nationalities and a constant flow of students and doctoral students at different periods of their education.
Our Vision is to provide unmanned systems (UAV and RPAS) with greater autonomy using Computer Vision techniques. Therefore, we are working on the following lines of research:
Our Group's values are:
The results of our work have won awards on many occasions. In 2012 we received the special mention for "Best Automatic Performance" and the overall second prize in the "Indoor Flight Dynamics - Rotary Wing MAV" category in the IMAV12 Autonomous Air Vehicles international competition. The following year, at the same competition ¿IMAV13¿ we won the first prize in the "Indoors Autonomy" category, and then, in 2014, we received two Prizes with Special Mention at the International Aerial Robotics Competition IARC Challenge, which is the oldest, best established aerial robotics competition.
We have also achieved other outstanding results with patents in use relating to our lines of research in the field of Computer Vision that is not related to UAVs. For example, a mobile app to detect drugs, the first developed on the market, that enables the result of rapid tests to be obtained automatically, minimising interpretation errors.
